Home My WebLink About1450-Z0-1rol RXAJ DATE: April 19,1999 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director SUBJECT: Request for a zone change from HI (Heavy Industrial) to GC -MD (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling) District for church property in the 3000 block of Brenham Street. FILE: 1450-Z STAFF REPORT G. W. Winters, Jr. is the pastor of the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church at 3099 Brenham Street. This property and all surrounding property was zoned IU as original zoning in 1955. The church has plans to build a residential care facility on two vacant church owned lots next door to the church and such facilities are not permitted in the HI District. Since 1981, religious uses have not been permitted in the industrial districts without a specific use permit. The church feels that the neighborhood is not of an industrial character and that all of the church property (three different parcels on Brenham) should be downzoned to GC -MD. The neighborhood is made up of frame houses and vacant lots. Industrial uses lie to the north along Crockett and Hollywood. Brenham is about halfway between Crockett and Fannin, a block west of Sixth Street. Presently, the church building lies across three 25' x 104.6 lots and a paved church parking lot is on the adjacent abandoned California Street south of Brenham. Another paved parking lot is at the northeast comer of Brenham and California. They own three other vacant lots across the street from the church to the northeast. Two vacant lots next to and east of the church are proposed for the future residential care facility. Churches and residential care facilities are permitted uses in the GC -MD District. No plans have been prepared at this time. Exhibits are attached. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Notices mailed to property owners 46 - Responses in Favor .

We are planning to build a residential home for senior citizens who need assisted living requiring minor care. At the present, the property in question is zoned HI and we are requesting that it be changed to GC -MD to accommodate our plans. The property is listed as follows: Lots 33-34; Blk 2 Lots 40-42; Blk 2 West End Addition Lots 28-32; Blk 3 (A map is attached) Thank you for your consideration.
